It was very simple to take apart, and after putting it back together it still works!

So as the title says; it wasn't broke but I took it apart and fixed it!
Next post I will be taking you through the upgrade to the new firmware found here and then to a custom firmware - amazingly the source for this router is provided here
anyone interested in improving the router firmware is more then welcome to!
Also recently have upgraded the WRT54G ver.6 which is very low on memory.

I can see taking it apart if broken or obsolete, but, geez. And then handling the components and circuitry like that. To each their own but don't do this at home if you will ever need it again.
still works!
Mickey... Mickey... more people should tinkering... where is your sense of adventure!
